DianneM the first step is to check the bios and see if the hard drive is identified there. To change Boot Sequence in your BIOS

Reboot the system and at the first post screen (where it is counting up memory) start tapping the DEL buttonThis will enter you into the Bios\Cmos area.Find the Advanced area and click EnterLook for Boot Sequence or Boot Options and highlight that click EnterNow highlight the first drive and follow the directions on the bottom of the screen on how to modify it and change it to CDrom.Change the second drive to the C or Main DriveOnce that is done then click F10 to Save and Exit You will prompted to enter Y to verify Save and Exit. Click Y and the system will now reboot with the new settings.

OK the boot order will not identify the hard drive. You will need to look around to find someplace that says Detect Drives or something like that or there should be a place that shows the hard drive and optical drive the system identifies. Normally it is on the General page or main page of the bios.

i tried the advance boot options too. All of them in fact and it just shows a blank screen with a cursor on it
when i went into safe mode it just have safe mode in all 4 corners and nothing else just the cursor and blank screen.
turn off it and put it on again the same no bootable device again

billnye45 your issue is the boot sequence in the bios is set to boot to a network first. You need to go into the bios and make sure the boot sequence is set as follows.* cdrom* hard drive* USB (If available)

If the PXE or network boot is in the sequence then take it out. Make sure to save your settings and exit.Let me know if it works then.
